Food for though
(Guardian) The proportion of scientific research that is retracted due to fraud has increased tenfold since 1975, according to the most comprehensive analysis yet of how research papers go wrong.
The study, published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that more than two-thirds of the biomedical and life sciences papers that have been retracted from the scientific record are due to misconduct by researchers, rather than error.
The results add weight to recent concerns that scientific misconduct is on the rise and that fraud increasingly affects fields that underpin many areas of public concern, such as medicine and healthcare.
And “climate change” science
Casadevall said the pressures to commit fraud came from many sources – not least the competition for scarce funding for research. In addition, the disproportionate rewards given to scientists who publish in high-impact journals mean that some may succumb to the temptation of making their results seem more impressive than they actually are.
Hmm, sounds a lot like what goes on for Believers in anthropogenic global warming.
Believers in a changing and non-static climate are the true believers in science and the scientific methodology.
This crap is not science. It is fraud. We do not believe in fraud.
98% of climate scientists who have had papers accepted by peer reviewed journals believe in climate change. The 2% who do not are the same ones who do not believe in evolution or that the Earth is more than 10,000 years old. They would only believe in climate change if it was in the Bible
